Qualcomm's rumored interest in acquiring Intel signals possible disruption for TSMC in the semiconductor market. While a merger could strengthen Qualcomm's position, entailing access to Intel's x86 chips and manufacturing capabilities, antitrust challenges may hinder such a deal. If Qualcomm successfully acquires Intel, it may shift some chip production in-house, impacting TSMC's revenue from mobile and IoT chip sectors. However, the potential merger is still uncertain due to regulatory concerns and Intel's struggles in catching up to TSMC technologically.
